If you have a book idea, how do you take that from idea to getting that book out there?
How do you get published?
💰 How do you get paid? 💰
I want to share my journey of becoming a published author with you today.
My 1st book, Soldier of Finance, released in 2013. You can check it out here: http://amzn.to/2oUa6FV
Be sure to stick with me to the end to find out how much I got paid.
💡 So first my idea - it actually came from a moment of disappointment.
I was contacted by CNBC who wanted to interview me as an IndependentCertifiedFinancial Advisor for a show they were doing. 😃
The flew me out, did the interview, and then the show was cancelled. 😞
But the producer said to me, "You know you should write a book that talks about the soldier's discipline to investing.
🎆🎆 Boom! This really resonated with me and I knew I had to write this book.
So I have the idea, now how to get published?
I know I had the option to get published on Amazon, but I wanted to use a traditional publisher. I wanted to be able to go into the book store and see my book on the shelf. 📚
I contacted multiple agents -- with zero success. All the big publishers said No!
While they liked the idea, I was a new author and they wanted to focus their time and resources on promoting their top authors.
But I kept trying and I finally found a Publisher that said Yes! The publisher was Amacom.
Now that I have the book and the publisher, how do I get paid?
For me, as a new author, I received a [have to watch the video to find out 😆] advance for projected sales, up front. I also receive residual checks twice a year based on actual sales.
So that is the basic run down on how to write a book and get paid. If you are interested in purchasing my book, you can find the link below. 👇

Self-Publishing authors ask how to price a self published book on Amazon. It’s an important decision when Amazon represents roughly 80% of book sales (or, more!) for self-published authors.
Author and entrepreneur, Julie Broad explains It's not as simple as figuring out what profit you'll make. There are a lot of factors to take into account when you decide what price to sell your non-fiction book at. In this video, you’ll learn one approach for using market research to help you figure out the range of prices your book should be in while being available for sale on Amazon, bookstores, and elsewhere.

Video transcript:
When you self-published one of the essential things that you have to figure out to sell your book is what price point to offer it at now there's a few things that you want to think about before you use the formula or the approach if you will that I'm about to show you when you're trying to figure out the price point of your book it's one part art one part science.
First you want to figure out what is the ultimate goal of your book, what are the distribution channels, and what is the value you're offering to the reader.
By the way Amazon is really what you need to pay attention to as a self-published author that's where more than 80% of your book sales are going to come from even if you have bookstore distribution so really you're figuring out what's gonna make you stand out and keep that Amazon
monster fat and happy but how do you figure it all out.
Let's say you've decided that start with Y by simon Sinek is a good comparable for your book so I've gone ahead and pulled it up on Amazon and now what you want to do is a couple things first you're gonna pull the price for the Kindle, you're gonna pull the price for the paperback, and there is in fact a hardcover available so you're gonna take all those prices and put them in a spreadsheet just like I did over here so spreadsheet put book title category Kindle price as you can see all these at the top
Then you're going to input information here so a book title category and then most importantly you're putting the Kindle price, the softcover price and overall sales so a couple things you want to pay attention to so we're gonna scroll down I'm gonna where you can find the sales numbers
So the Amazon bestsellers ranks so it's 148 overall in books and now I want to look at the categories because this is where I might find some other books that are similar to it.
These are kind of weird categories for this book actually so I'm gonna stick with entrepreneurship so I'm gonna click on this it's a hyperlink and I'm going to go ahead and look at other books that might be in this category to see if there's something else that might be another cop for my books so let's just see we'll just say blueprint to business make it so now what I want to look at is number of reviews. This one doesn't have very many reviews so I probably won't use it as a comp
You want to look for somebody with probably 50 or more reviews and four-star or higher because that's really again you're looking for pricing comparables you don't really want to compete against somebody who it has no reviews the book isn't selling because that's not going to be a great cop so keep searching around until you find about 20 to 50 of these type of books whenever you find one that's a good comp I would then head over to down here check out where it is so this one is number one in accounting but keep in mind what categories are a
good fit for you so maybe personal finance is a good category so you'd head over and now look at what books are in that.
So you want 50 or more reviews and you also want to have books that are in multiple formats so let's say this book the code of an extraordinary mind was only available in Kindle that wouldn't work for our purposes we want books that are available in Kindle and ideally softcover as well as hardcover and then you're just gonna take all this information and keep in putting it into the spreadsheet and then at the end of it like I said when you have at least twenty or twenty to fifty comparable titles you're gonna take an average of the Kindle price and average of the softcover price, and see where you come out you may even want to take a meet a mean and a low and a high and just really start to take a look at the range of books you'll be competing with.

Self-publishing is a huge opportunity and easily the most passive income stream I’ve found. In 32 months, I’ve published ten books, sold 13,918 copies and made over $37,000 self-publishing. Check out my step-by-step self-publishing guide at https://myworkfromhomemoney.com/how-to-publish-a-book-guide/
But the average self-published book sales less than $500, not a month, not a year but lifetime sales. It’s not because they aren’t good books. It’s because people make 10 common mistakes that doom their book.
I’ve made over $21,000 just in the last 12 months off my self-published books.
And I was always just an average student in English and writing classes. Nothing special, believe me.
If I can do this, anyone can.
There are four million books available on amazon and most of them are crap because authors make the same mistakes self-publishing. I’m going to run down these mistakes but click through to the blog to get the entire process for self-publishing a book and making money.
In this video from My Work from HomeMoney, I'll reveal these 10 self-publishing mistakes and how to write, develop and launch a book to #1 on Amazon.

FINANCE EMPLOYEE SELLS 200,000 SELF-PUBLISHED ROMANCE NOVELS
When she can’t find anything good to read, a finance employee starts writing romance novels of her own. The books go on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies and pull her family out of debt.

Words of Wisdom
When Carey began the task of writing her first book, like most new authors, she made many mistakes. In novel writing there are two types of people: plotters and "pantsers." At first she was a pantser, as in "fly by the seat of your pants," and her stories went wherever her imagination was going at the time.
That kind of writing can be freeing for a while, but it’s not necessarily great for readers. Halfway through the first draft, she realized she had no conflict in her story, and anyone who reads fiction knows why this is a big problem—what's the point of reading a story with no conflict? It took her six months to write that first draft and then another five months working on edits and rewrites before she published it.
FunFact
Since that first book came out, she’s sold over 200,000 copies worldwide. Her books have been translated into German, Czech, Spanish, and are also available as audiobooks. Carey is paid monthly royalties from these sales. With Amazon, if her book is priced $2.99 or higher, the royalty is approximately 70%. For ebooks that retail under $2.99, the royalty is closer to 30%.
Since she’s in charge of everything, she can set her own prices. She usually opts for a price of around $3.99, meaning that she earns about $2.80 on every book that’s sold. The income she’s earned has allowed her to pay off some debt that she struggled with before she began publishing. It's given her the financial freedom to travel and save for the future.

Let's talk some more about MONEY in publishing! First, why is it so taboo to talk about money in publishing? Well, generally it's simply tacky to talk about money! But I'm digging into it a bit.
Have you seen the terms "good deal" or "major deal" and wondered what the heck they mean? I'm going over common deal terms, which help you know the ballpark range of what authors get for their book deals.
And finally, I've got advice for how to get on more even footing, re: money in publishing, despite the closed-lip atmosphere.
This video is part of Money Month, where I'm posting videos all month about money in publishing. If you have questions or requests for topics, drop them down in the comments!

Refreshments will be served.

Publishing

Publishing is the process of production and dissemination of literature, music, or information — the activity of making information available to the general public. In some cases, authors may be their own publishers, meaning originators and developers of content also provide media to deliver and display the content for the same. Also, the word publisher can refer to the individual who leads a publishing company or an imprint or to a person who owns/heads a magazine.

Traditionally, the term refers to the distribution of printed works such as books (the "book trade") and newspapers. With the advent of digital information systems and the Internet, the scope of publishing has expanded to include electronic resources such as the electronic versions of books and periodicals, as well as micropublishing, websites, blogs, video game publishers, and the like.

Palgrave Macmillan

Palgrave Macmillan is an international academic and trade publishing company. Its programme includes textbooks, journals, monographs, professional and reference works in print and online.

Palgrave Macmillan was created in 2000 when St. Martin's Press Scholarly and Reference in the USA united with Macmillan Publishers in the UK to combine their worldwide academic publishing operations. The company was known as simply Palgrave until 2002, but has since been known as Palgrave Macmillan.

The history of financial services

The term "financial services" became more prevalent in the United States partly as a result of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of the late 1990s, which enabled different types of companies operating in the U.S. financial services industry at that time to merge.

Companies usually have two distinct approaches to this new type of business. One approach would be a bank which simply buys an insurance company or an investment bank, keeps the original brands of the acquired firm, and adds the acquisition to its holding company simply to diversify its earnings. Outside the U.S. (e.g., in Japan), non-financial services companies are permitted within the holding company. In this scenario, each company still looks independent, and has its own customers, etc. In the other style, a bank would simply create its own brokerage division or insurance division and attempt to sell those products to its own existing customers, with incentives for combining all things with one company.

Context

The Act may be thought of as an “emasculated Gower”. Professor Laurence Gower had been asked to produce a report on financial regulation, followed by a draft bill. He tended towards a tighter and more top-heavy regime. The Thatcher government became impatient with this process and pushed a second bill through in place of Gower with more emphasis on self-regulation but containing most of the regulatory content of the Gower bill.

This relatively light approach to regulation followed a trend taking place in America under the Reagan administration.

How to Price a Self Published Book on Amazon

How to Price a Self Published Book on Amazon

How to Price a Self Published Book on Amazon

Self-Publishing authors ask how to price a self published book on Amazon. It’s an important decision when Amazon represents roughly 80% of book sales (or, more!) for self-published authors.
Author and entrepreneur, Julie Broad explains It's not as simple as figuring out what profit you'll make. There are a lot of factors to take into account when you decide what price to sell your non-fiction book at. In this video, you’ll learn one approach for using market research to help you figure out the range of prices your book should be in while being available for sale on Amazon, bookstores, and elsewhere.

Video transcript:
When you self-published one of the essential things that you have to figure out to sell your book is what price point to offer it at now there's a few things that you want to think about before you use the formula or the approach if you will that I'm about to show you when you're trying to figure out the price point of your book it's one part art one part science.
First you want to figure out what is the ultimate goal of your book, what are the distribution channels, and what is the value you're offering to the reader.
By the way Amazon is really what you need to pay attention to as a self-published author that's where more than 80% of your book sales are going to come from even if you have bookstore distribution so really you're figuring out what's gonna make you stand out and keep that Amazon
monster fat and happy but how do you figure it all out.
Let's say you've decided that start with Y by simon Sinek is a good comparable for your book so I've gone ahead and pulled it up on Amazon and now what you want to do is a couple things first you're gonna pull the price for the Kindle, you're gonna pull the price for the paperback, and there is in fact a hardcover available so you're gonna take all those prices and put them in a spreadsheet just like I did over here so spreadsheet put book title category Kindle price as you can see all these at the top
Then you're going to input information here so a book title category and then most importantly you're putting the Kindle price, the softcover price and overall sales so a couple things you want to pay attention to so we're gonna scroll down I'm gonna where you can find the sales numbers
So the Amazon bestsellers ranks so it's 148 overall in books and now I want to look at the categories because this is where I might find some other books that are similar to it.
These are kind of weird categories for this book actually so I'm gonna stick with entrepreneurship so I'm gonna click on this it's a hyperlink and I'm going to go ahead and look at other books that might be in this category to see if there's something else that might be another cop for my books so let's just see we'll just say blueprint to business make it so now what I want to look at is number of reviews. This one doesn't have very many reviews so I probably won't use it as a comp
You want to look for somebody with probably 50 or more reviews and four-star or higher because that's really again you're looking for pricing comparables you don't really want to compete against somebody who it has no reviews the book isn't selling because that's not going to be a great cop so keep searching around until you find about 20 to 50 of these type of books whenever you find one that's a good comp I would then head over to down here check out where it is so this one is number one in accounting but keep in mind what categories are a
good fit for you so maybe personal finance is a good category so you'd head over and now look at what books are in that.
So you want 50 or more reviews and you also want to have books that are in multiple formats so let's say this book the code of an extraordinary mind was only available in Kindle that wouldn't work for our purposes we want books that are available in Kindle and ideally softcover as well as hardcover and then you're just gonna take all this information and keep in putting it into the spreadsheet and then at the end of it like I said when you have at least twenty or twenty to fifty comparable titles you're gonna take an average of the Kindle price and average of the softcover price, and see where you come out you may even want to take a meet a mean and a low and a high and just really start to take a look at the range of books you'll be competing with.

10 Self-Publishing Mistakes that Doom Your Book

Self-publishing is a huge opportunity and easily the most passive income stream I’ve found. In 32 months, I’ve published ten books, sold 13,918 copies and made over $37,000 self-publishing. Check out my step-by-step self-publishing guide at https://myworkfromhomemoney.com/how-to-publish-a-book-guide/
But the average self-published book sales less than $500, not a month, not a year but lifetime sales. It’s not because they aren’t good books. It’s because people make 10 common mistakes that doom their book.
I’ve made over $21,000 just in the last 12 months off my self-published books.
And I was always just an average student in English and writing classes. Nothing special, believe me.
If I can do this, anyone can.
There are four million books available on amazon and most of them are crap because authors make the same mistakes self-publishing. I’m going to run down these mistakes but click through to the blog to get the entire process for self-publishing a book and making money.
In this video from My Work from HomeMoney, I'll reveal these 10 self-publishing mistakes and how to write, develop and launch a book to #1 on Amazon.

Words of Wisdom
When Carey began the task of writing her first book, like most new authors, she made many mistakes. In novel writing there are two types of people: plotters and "pantsers." At first she was a pantser, as in "fly by the seat of your pants," and her stories went wherever her imagination was going at the time.
That kind of writing can be freeing for a while, but it’s not necessarily great for readers. Halfway through the first draft, she realized she had no conflict in her story, and anyone who reads fiction knows why this is a big problem—what's the point of reading a story with no conflict? It took her six months to write that first draft and then another five months working on edits and rewrites before she published it.
FunFact
Since that first book came out, she’s sold over 200,000 copies worldwide. Her books have been translated into German, Czech, Spanish, and are also available as audiobooks. Carey is paid monthly royalties from these sales. With Amazon, if her book is priced $2.99 or higher, the royalty is approximately 70%. For ebooks that retail under $2.99, the royalty is closer to 30%.
Since she’s in charge of everything, she can set her own prices. She usually opts for a price of around $3.99, meaning that she earns about $2.80 on every book that’s sold. The income she’s earned has allowed her to pay off some debt that she struggled with before she began publishing. It's given her the financial freedom to travel and save for the future.

Money Taboos in Publishing & Deal Terms to Know [MONEY MONTH]

Let's talk some more about MONEY in publishing! First, why is it so taboo to talk about money in publishing? Well, generally it's simply tacky to talk about money! But I'm digging into it a bit.
Have you seen the terms "good deal" or "major deal" and wondered what the heck they mean? I'm going over common deal terms, which help you know the ballpark range of what authors get for their book deals.
And finally, I've got advice for how to get on more even footing, re: money in publishing, despite the closed-lip atmosphere.
This video is part of Money Month, where I'm posting videos all month about money in publishing. If you have questions or requests for topics, drop them down in the comments!

Government tax on books has led to reduced reading, say publishers

The KenyaPublishers Association wants the Government to amend the Finance Bill 2016 to have books included in the list of zero-rated items in order to have more students benefit from access to reading materials.
The enactment of the VAT Act 2013 saw publishers encounter dwindling sales as the higher cost of books was passed on to consumers.
According to the Association, zero-rating books will go a long way towards ensuring that Kenya is able to offer quality education and training as envisaged under Vision 2030.

Modern Financial Regulation

BOOK REVIEW
MODERN FINANCIAL REGULATION
By JonathanKirk and James RossJordan Publishing
ISBN: 978 1 84661 578 8
www.jordanpublishing.co.uk
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN FINANCIAL SERVICES REGULATION
An appreciation by Phillip TaylorMBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond GreenChambers
The all too recent scandals and upheavals in the financial services sector -- like LIPBOR and PPI -- and others too numerous to mention here -- have had a profound effect on the economy too complicated to mention here either. Suffice to say, changes had to be made, of which all financial and legal practitioners should be aware. So thank you to Jordan Publishing for bringing out, as one of their most recent titles, 'Modern Financial Regulation.'
This timely first edition comprehensively covers and explains the changes in the regulation of financial services brought about by the Financial Services Act 2012. The best known is of course, the replacement of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority, a development which seems to have resulted in a more robust regime of regulatory, civil injunctive and criminal enforcement.
'The Financial Services Act,' say the authors, 'ushers in fundamental structural change, a modern era in financial regulation.' It replaces, one hopes, the former and obviously ineffectual 'light touch regulation' with 'greater intervention, enforcement and sanction for the banking and financial services sector.
The book is actually a collective work which brings together the insights of a number of expert contributors and authors, with the intention of providing a precise guide to the structural and regulatory changes that have taken place and the institutions that have been recently created.
Over 11 chapters, the book discusses clearly and in detail the ways in which the Financial Services Act 2012 has affected other areas of financial regulation, from consumer credit and hire, to payment services, to money laundering, to electronic money and market abuse, as well as insider trading and cartels.
Over half the book, however, is taken up quite rightly by the two appendices which include the Financial Services Act itself, reproduced in all its majesty and might in almost 320 pages, plus the three statutory instruments pertaining to the Act in Appendix Two.
Produced in handy paperback format, the book is therefore a convenient research resource and reference book, as well as a practitioner's guide to the current regulatory landscape which affects the financial services sector. Also note, for example, the extensive tables of cases, statutes, statutory instruments and European materials. And for enhanced ease of use, there is a minutely detailed table of contents and useful index at the back.
If you are involved in any way with the financial services sector -- and most people in the City of London are -- you will definitely need a copy of this important new title. The law is stated as at 26 February2013.

But the average self-published book sales less than $500, not a month, not a year but lifetime sales. It’s not because they aren’t good books. It’s because people make 10 common mistakes that doom their book.
I’ve made over $21,000 just in the last 12 months off my self-published books.
And I was always just an average student in English and writing classes. Nothing special, believe me.
If I can do this, anyone can.
There are four million books available on amazon and most of them are c...

Money Taboos in Publishing & Deal Terms to Know [MONEY MONTH]

Let's talk some more about MONEY in publishing! First, why is it so taboo to talk about money in publishing? Well, generally it's simply tacky to talk about money! But I'm digging into it a bit.
Have you seen the terms "good deal" or "major deal" and wondered what the heck they mean? I'm going over common deal terms, which help you know the ballpark range of what authors get for their book deals.
And finally, I've got advice for how to get on more even footing, re: money in publishing, despite the closed-lip atmosphere.
This video is part of Money Month, where I'm posting videos all month about money in publishing. If you have questions or requests for topics, drop them down in the comments!

Government tax on books has led to reduced reading, say publishers

The KenyaPublishers Association wants the Government to amend the Finance Bill 2016 to have books included in the list of zero-rated items in order to have more students benefit from access to reading materials.
The enactment of the VAT Act 2013 saw publishers encounter dwindling sales as the higher cost of books was passed on to consumers.
According to the Association, zero-rating books will go a long way towards ensuring that Kenya is able to offer quality education and training as envisaged under Vision 2030.

Modern Financial Regulation

BOOK REVIEW
MODERN FINANCIAL REGULATION

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN FINANCIAL SERVICES REGULATION
An appreciation by Phillip TaylorMBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond GreenChambers
The all too recent scandals and upheavals in the financial services sector -- like LIPBOR and PPI -- and others too numerous to mention here -- have had a profound effect on the economy too complicated to mention here either. Suffice to say, changes had to be made, of which all financial and legal practitioners should be aware. So thank you to Jordan Publishing for bringing out, as one of their most recent titles, 'Modern Financial Regulation.'

If you have a book idea, how do you take that from idea to getting that book out there?
How do you get published?
💰 How do you get paid? 💰
I want to share my journey of becoming a published author with you today.
My 1st book, Soldier of Finance, released in 2013. You can check it out here: http://amzn.to/2oUa6FV
Be sure to stick with me to the end to find out how much I got paid.
💡 So first my idea - it actually came from a moment of disappointment.
I was contacted by CNBC who wanted to interview me as an IndependentCertifiedFinancial Advisor for a show they were doing. 😃
The flew me out, did the interview, and then the show was cancelled. 😞
But the producer said to me, "You know you should write a book that talks about the soldier's discipline to investing.
🎆🎆 Boom! This really resonated with me and I knew I had to write this book.
So I have the idea, now how to get published?
I know I had the option to get published on Amazon, but I wanted to use a traditional publisher. I wanted to be able to go into the book store and see my book on the shelf. 📚
I contacted multiple agents -- with zero success. All the big publishers said No!
While they liked the idea, I was a new author and they wanted to focus their time and resources on promoting their top authors.
But I kept trying and I finally found a Publisher that said Yes! The publisher was Amacom.
Now that I have the book and the publisher, how do I get paid?
For me, as a new author, I received a [have to watch the video to find out 😆] advance for projected sales, up front. I also receive residual checks twice a year based on actual sales.
So that is the basic run down on how to write a book and get paid. If you are interested in purchasing my book, you can find the link below. 👇

Self-Publishing authors ask how to price a self published book on Amazon. It’s an important decision when Amazon represents roughly 80% of book sales (or, more!) for self-published authors.
Author and entrepreneur, Julie Broad explains It's not as simple as figuring out what profit you'll make. There are a lot of factors to take into account when you decide what price to sell your non-fiction book at. In this video, you’ll learn one approach for using market research to help you figure out the range of prices your book should be in while being available for sale on Amazon, bookstores, and elsewhere.

Video transcript:
When you self-published one of the essential things that you have to figure out to sell your book is what price point to offer it at now there's a few things that you want to think about before you use the formula or the approach if you will that I'm about to show you when you're trying to figure out the price point of your book it's one part art one part science.
First you want to figure out what is the ultimate goal of your book, what are the distribution channels, and what is the value you're offering to the reader.
By the way Amazon is really what you need to pay attention to as a self-published author that's where more than 80% of your book sales are going to come from even if you have bookstore distribution so really you're figuring out what's gonna make you stand out and keep that Amazon
monster fat and happy but how do you figure it all out.
Let's say you've decided that start with Y by simon Sinek is a good comparable for your book so I've gone ahead and pulled it up on Amazon and now what you want to do is a couple things first you're gonna pull the price for the Kindle, you're gonna pull the price for the paperback, and there is in fact a hardcover available so you're gonna take all those prices and put them in a spreadsheet just like I did over here so spreadsheet put book title category Kindle price as you can see all these at the top
Then you're going to input information here so a book title category and then most importantly you're putting the Kindle price, the softcover price and overall sales so a couple things you want to pay attention to so we're gonna scroll down I'm gonna where you can find the sales numbers
So the Amazon bestsellers ranks so it's 148 overall in books and now I want to look at the categories because this is where I might find some other books that are similar to it.
These are kind of weird categories for this book actually so I'm gonna stick with entrepreneurship so I'm gonna click on this it's a hyperlink and I'm going to go ahead and look at other books that might be in this category to see if there's something else that might be another cop for my books so let's just see we'll just say blueprint to business make it so now what I want to look at is number of reviews. This one doesn't have very many reviews so I probably won't use it as a comp
You want to look for somebody with probably 50 or more reviews and four-star or higher because that's really again you're looking for pricing comparables you don't really want to compete against somebody who it has no reviews the book isn't selling because that's not going to be a great cop so keep searching around until you find about 20 to 50 of these type of books whenever you find one that's a good comp I would then head over to down here check out where it is so this one is number one in accounting but keep in mind what categories are a
good fit for you so maybe personal finance is a good category so you'd head over and now look at what books are in that.
So you want 50 or more reviews and you also want to have books that are in multiple formats so let's say this book the code of an extraordinary mind was only available in Kindle that wouldn't work for our purposes we want books that are available in Kindle and ideally softcover as well as hardcover and then you're just gonna take all this information and keep in putting it into the spreadsheet and then at the end of it like I said when you have at least twenty or twenty to fifty comparable titles you're gonna take an average of the Kindle price and average of the softcover price, and see where you come out you may even want to take a meet a mean and a low and a high and just really start to take a look at the range of books you'll be competing with.

FINANCE EMPLOYEE SELLS 200,000 SELF-PUBLISHED ROMANCE NOVELS

When Carey began the task of writing her first book, like most new authors, she made many mistakes. In novel writing there are two types of people: plotters and "pantsers." At first she was a pantser, as in "fly by the seat of your pants," and her stories went wherever her imagination was going at the time.
That kind of writing can be freeing for a while, but it’s not necessarily great for readers. Halfway through the first draft, she realized she had no conflict in her story, and anyone who reads fiction knows why this is a big problem—what's the point of reading a story with no conflict? It took her six months to write that first draft and then another five months working on edits and rewrites before she published it.
FunFact
Since that first book came out, she’s sold over 200,000 copies worldwide. Her books have been translated into German, Czech, Spanish, and are also available as audiobooks. Carey is paid monthly royalties from these sales. With Amazon, if her book is priced $2.99 or higher, the royalty is approximately 70%. For ebooks that retail under $2.99, the royalty is closer to 30%.
Since she’s in charge of everything, she can set her own prices. She usually opts for a price of around $3.99, meaning that she earns about $2.80 on every book that’s sold. The income she’s earned has allowed her to pay off some debt that she struggled with before she began publishing. It's given her the financial freedom to travel and save for the future.

In this video Stefan talks and answers a question he gets a lot which is how to write a book for beginners.
"I've written a few of my own book. I'm also a blogger and a writer of ProjectLifeMastery.com. I also helped a lot of writers and authors to be able to write their books, publish them and do very very well with it.
So my outcome with this video is to be able to help you get started to write your own book. But not just get started but also finish it because that's the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is for you to complete your book so that you can publish it, you can get it out there and start making money from it,
you can have an impact and you can have your message be heard. You don't want your message to die at your lips. Unfortunately I've seen this happened time and time again with many authors and aspiring authors out there."

#retireearly #financialindependence #personalfinance
Hey everyone, welcome to my channel! I share in this video how I "retired early" & reached "financial independence" by the age of 24! I would like to share with you a bit about my story. I amNorth America & Canada's Youngest Self-Made Retiree through frugality. I unlocked FIRE at age 24 and I am currently age 25. I like to lead by example, and all of the content I share is for the benefit of the viewers. My strategy is replicatable - anyone can do it! It doesn't require a hot market, or unrepeatable online business strategy - just hard work, frugality and astute investing!
I want to show everyone that financial independence is not as far off you might think.You can achieve this lifestyle of freedom with a little hard work and perseverance!

If you want to speak with me on the phone or over skype for 1 on 1 coaching calls, I have decided to make myself available on a limited basis (so long as it doesn’t infringe on my Freedom too much – Family is important too!). Given the availability in my calendar is limited I have to charge $99/hour to ensure I don’t get swamped with requests that I cannot respond to for months. That said, most of what you need to know is out there on Youtube and in my videos. I look forward to hearing you.
Mike Rosehart is a 25 year old early retired, self-made millionaire, with a young family, who unlocked financial independence at the age of 25 through Real Estate investing, hard-work and extreme frugality. Mike holds the title of Canada's Youngest Self-Made Early Retiree through Frugality. He bought his first property at the age of 19 (in 2012), while still in university studying business finance, and scaled up to build a 15 property portfolio in 2017 that cash-flowed over $12,000/month (net) in London, Ontario, Canada. Mike sold 11 properties and currently has 7 properties, dabbles in equity investing, real-estate, entrepreneurship, business management, and much more. Mike is obsessed with all things personal finance. He created this channel to give back with the goal of educating others on all things financial independence (FI), real estate, and managing it all with a young family.

Let's talk some more about MONEY in publishing! First, why is it so taboo to talk about money in publishing? Well, generally it's simply tacky to talk about money! But I'm digging into it a bit.
Have you seen the terms "good deal" or "major deal" and wondered what the heck they mean? I'm going over common deal terms, which help you know the ballpark range of what authors get for their book deals.
And finally, I've got advice for how to get on more even footing, re: money in publishing, despite the closed-lip atmosphere.
This video is part of Money Month, where I'm posting videos all month about money in publishing. If you have questions or requests for topics, drop them down in the comments!

On Thursday, September 28, 2017, we were joined by five authors to learn how to getting published.
Curious about what it takes to write a novel? Ever wonder how an editor chooses which books to publish? Learn the ins and outs of the publishing industry during this panel discussion featuring beloved and award winning authors of thrillers, mysteries, romance, and women's fiction.
Refreshments will be served.
About the Panelists
National bestselling author JamieBeck’s realistic and heartwarming stories have sold more than one million copies. She is a 2017 Booksellers’ BestAward finalist, and her books have hit Heavy.com’s “Top 10 Romance Novels of 2015” and have been selected as a Woman’s WorldBookClub pick. In addition to writing novels, she enjoys dancing around the kitchen while cooking and hitting the slopes in Vermont and Utah. Above all, she is a grateful wife and mother to a very patient, supportive family.
PatienceBloom is a senior editor for HarlequinRomanticSuspense. At Harlequin, she tends to work on a wide spectrum of romances—from Love Inspired to Harlequin Dare, with a specialization in suspense. Prior to joining Harlequin in 1997, Patience taught French and Latin at Sandia Preparatory School in New Mexico. She holds a B.A. in French and Latin from Oberlin College and a master’s degree in French Literature from the University of New Mexico. She is the author of her own true romance, Romance Is My Day Job.
Jane Haertel writes mysteries as SadieHartwell (the Tangled WebMysteries) and Susannah Hardy (the Greek to Me Mysteries). She has worked as a handbag designer, waitress, and office drone until she landed her dream jobs in the book business. In addition to authoring books of her own, Jane also works full-time as a lead editor at Annie's Fiction, a specialty book club publisher. She lives in Connecticut with her husband, son, and her tuxedo cat, Elvira.
Award-winning author ErikaKelly has been spinning romantic tales all her life—she just didn’t know it. Raised on the classics, she didn’t discover romantic fiction until later in life. From that moment on, she’s been devouring the genre and finding her true voice as an author. Over three decades she’s written poems, screenplays, plays, short stories, and contemporary women’s fiction novels. Married to the love of her life and raising four children, she’s lived in two countries and seven states, but currently makes her home in Connecticut.
WendyWalker is the author of the national and international bestseller All is Not Forgotten, with rights sold in twenty-two languages. Film rights have been sold to Warner Brothers with Reese Witherspoon and Pacific Standard producing. She previously published two novels and edited multiple compilations for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Prior to her writing career, Wendy practiced family law, having earned her J. D. from Georgetown University Law Center and her undergraduate degree from Brown University. Wendy is currently finishing her second thriller and managing a busy household in Fairfield County, Connecticut where she lives with her three sons.

The KenyaPublishers Association wants the Government to amend the Finance Bill 2016 to have books included in the list of zero-rated items in order to have more students benefit from access to reading materials.
The enactment of the VAT Act 2013 saw publishers encounter dwindling sales as the higher cost of books was passed on to consumers.
According to the Association, zero-rating books will go a long way towards ensuring that Kenya is able to offer quality education and training as envisaged under Vision 2030.

The enactment of the VAT Act 2013 saw publishers encounter dwindling sales as the higher cost of books was passed on to consumers.
According to the Association, zero-rating books will go a long way towards ensuring that Kenya is able to offer quality education and training as envisaged under Vision 2030.

BOOK REVIEW
MODERN FINANCIAL REGULATION
By JonathanKirk and James RossJordan Publishing
ISBN: 978 1 84661 578 8
www.jordanpublishing.co.uk
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN FINANCIAL SERVICES REGULATION
An appreciation by Phillip TaylorMBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond GreenChambers
The all too recent scandals and upheavals in the financial services sector -- like LIPBOR and PPI -- and others too numerous to mention here -- have had a profound effect on the economy too complicated to mention here either. Suffice to say, changes had to be made, of which all financial and legal practitioners should be aware. So thank you to Jordan Publishing for bringing out, as one of their most recent titles, 'Modern Financial Regulation.'
This timely first edition comprehensively covers and explains the changes in the regulation of financial services brought about by the Financial Services Act 2012. The best known is of course, the replacement of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority, a development which seems to have resulted in a more robust regime of regulatory, civil injunctive and criminal enforcement.
'The Financial Services Act,' say the authors, 'ushers in fundamental structural change, a modern era in financial regulation.' It replaces, one hopes, the former and obviously ineffectual 'light touch regulation' with 'greater intervention, enforcement and sanction for the banking and financial services sector.
The book is actually a collective work which brings together the insights of a number of expert contributors and authors, with the intention of providing a precise guide to the structural and regulatory changes that have taken place and the institutions that have been recently created.
Over 11 chapters, the book discusses clearly and in detail the ways in which the Financial Services Act 2012 has affected other areas of financial regulation, from consumer credit and hire, to payment services, to money laundering, to electronic money and market abuse, as well as insider trading and cartels.
Over half the book, however, is taken up quite rightly by the two appendices which include the Financial Services Act itself, reproduced in all its majesty and might in almost 320 pages, plus the three statutory instruments pertaining to the Act in Appendix Two.
Produced in handy paperback format, the book is therefore a convenient research resource and reference book, as well as a practitioner's guide to the current regulatory landscape which affects the financial services sector. Also note, for example, the extensive tables of cases, statutes, statutory instruments and European materials. And for enhanced ease of use, there is a minutely detailed table of contents and useful index at the back.
If you are involved in any way with the financial services sector -- and most people in the City of London are -- you will definitely need a copy of this important new title. The law is stated as at 26 February2013.

How to Write a Book and Get Paid (how much you really make❓)

If you have a book idea, how do you take that from idea to getting that book out there?
How do you get published?
💰 How do you get paid? 💰
I want to share my journey of becoming a published author with you today.
My 1st book, Soldier of Finance, released in 2013. You can check it out here: http://amzn.to/2oUa6FV
Be sure to stick with me to the end to find out how much I got paid.
💡 So first my idea - it actually came from a moment of disappointment.
I was contacted by CNBC who wanted to interview me as an IndependentCertifiedFinancial Advisor for a show they were doing. 😃
The flew me out, did the interview, and then the show was cancelled. 😞
But the producer said to me, "You know you should write a book that talks about the soldier's discipline to investing.
🎆🎆 Boom! This really resonated with me and I knew I had to write this book.
So I have the idea, now how to get published?
I know I had the option to get published on Amazon, but I wanted to use a traditional publisher. I wanted to be able to go into the book store and see my book on the shelf. 📚
I contacted multiple agents -- with zero success. All the big publishers said No!
While they liked the idea, I was a new author and they wanted to focus their time and resources on promoting their top authors.
But I kept trying and I finally found a Publisher that said Yes! The publisher was Amacom.
Now that I have the book and the publisher, how do I get paid?
For me, as a new author, I received a [have to watch the video to find out 😆] advance for projected sales, up front. I also receive residual checks twice a year based on actual sales.
So that is the basic run down on how to write a book and get paid. If you are interested in purchasing my book, you can find the link below. 👇

How to Price a Self Published Book on Amazon

Self-Publishing authors ask how to price a self published book on Amazon. It’s an important decision when Amazon represents roughly 80% of book sales (or, more!) for self-published authors.
Author and entrepreneur, Julie Broad explains It's not as simple as figuring out what profit you'll make. There are a lot of factors to take into account when you decide what price to sell your non-fiction book at. In this video, you’ll learn one approach for using market research to help you figure out the range of prices your book should be in while being available for sale on Amazon, bookstores, and elsewhere.

Video transcript:
When you self-published one of the essential things that you have to figure out to sell your book is what price point to offer it at now there's a few things that you want to think about before you use the formula or the approach if you will that I'm about to show you when you're trying to figure out the price point of your book it's one part art one part science.
First you want to figure out what is the ultimate goal of your book, what are the distribution channels, and what is the value you're offering to the reader.
By the way Amazon is really what you need to pay attention to as a self-published author that's where more than 80% of your book sales are going to come from even if you have bookstore distribution so really you're figuring out what's gonna make you stand out and keep that Amazon
monster fat and happy but how do you figure it all out.
Let's say you've decided that start with Y by simon Sinek is a good comparable for your book so I've gone ahead and pulled it up on Amazon and now what you want to do is a couple things first you're gonna pull the price for the Kindle, you're gonna pull the price for the paperback, and there is in fact a hardcover available so you're gonna take all those prices and put them in a spreadsheet just like I did over here so spreadsheet put book title category Kindle price as you can see all these at the top
Then you're going to input information here so a book title category and then most importantly you're putting the Kindle price, the softcover price and overall sales so a couple things you want to pay attention to so we're gonna scroll down I'm gonna where you can find the sales numbers
So the Amazon bestsellers ranks so it's 148 overall in books and now I want to look at the categories because this is where I might find some other books that are similar to it.
These are kind of weird categories for this book actually so I'm gonna stick with entrepreneurship so I'm gonna click on this it's a hyperlink and I'm going to go ahead and look at other books that might be in this category to see if there's something else that might be another cop for my books so let's just see we'll just say blueprint to business make it so now what I want to look at is number of reviews. This one doesn't have very many reviews so I probably won't use it as a comp
You want to look for somebody with probably 50 or more reviews and four-star or higher because that's really again you're looking for pricing comparables you don't really want to compete against somebody who it has no reviews the book isn't selling because that's not going to be a great cop so keep searching around until you find about 20 to 50 of these type of books whenever you find one that's a good comp I would then head over to down here check out where it is so this one is number one in accounting but keep in mind what categories are a
good fit for you so maybe personal finance is a good category so you'd head over and now look at what books are in that.
So you want 50 or more reviews and you also want to have books that are in multiple formats so let's say this book the code of an extraordinary mind was only available in Kindle that wouldn't work for our purposes we want books that are available in Kindle and ideally softcover as well as hardcover and then you're just gonna take all this information and keep in putting it into the spreadsheet and then at the end of it like I said when you have at least twenty or twenty to fifty comparable titles you're gonna take an average of the Kindle price and average of the softcover price, and see where you come out you may even want to take a meet a mean and a low and a high and just really start to take a look at the range of books you'll be competing with.

10 Self-Publishing Mistakes that Doom Your Book

Self-publishing is a huge opportunity and easily the most passive income stream I’ve found. In 32 months, I’ve published ten books, sold 13,918 copies and made over $37,000 self-publishing. Check out my step-by-step self-publishing guide at https://myworkfromhomemoney.com/how-to-publish-a-book-guide/
But the average self-published book sales less than $500, not a month, not a year but lifetime sales. It’s not because they aren’t good books. It’s because people make 10 common mistakes that doom their book.
I’ve made over $21,000 just in the last 12 months off my self-published books.
And I was always just an average student in English and writing classes. Nothing special, believe me.
If I can do this, anyone can.
There are four million books available on amazon and most of them are crap because authors make the same mistakes self-publishing. I’m going to run down these mistakes but click through to the blog to get the entire process for self-publishing a book and making money.
In this video from My Work from HomeMoney, I'll reveal these 10 self-publishing mistakes and how to write, develop and launch a book to #1 on Amazon.

Words of Wisdom
When Carey began the task of writing her first book, like most new authors, she made many mistakes. In novel writing there are two types of people: plotters and "pantsers." At first she was a pantser, as in "fly by the seat of your pants," and her stories went wherever her imagination was going at the time.
That kind of writing can be freeing for a while, but it’s not necessarily great for readers. Halfway through the first draft, she realized she had no conflict in her story, and anyone who reads fiction knows why this is a big problem—what's the point of reading a story with no conflict? It took her six months to write that first draft and then another five months working on edits and rewrites before she published it.
FunFact
Since that first book came out, she’s sold over 200,000 copies worldwide. Her books have been translated into German, Czech, Spanish, and are also available as audiobooks. Carey is paid monthly royalties from these sales. With Amazon, if her book is priced $2.99 or higher, the royalty is approximately 70%. For ebooks that retail under $2.99, the royalty is closer to 30%.
Since she’s in charge of everything, she can set her own prices. She usually opts for a price of around $3.99, meaning that she earns about $2.80 on every book that’s sold. The income she’s earned has allowed her to pay off some debt that she struggled with before she began publishing. It's given her the financial freedom to travel and save for the future.

Money Taboos in Publishing & Deal Terms to Know [MONEY MONTH]

Let's talk some more about MONEY in publishing! First, why is it so taboo to talk about money in publishing? Well, generally it's simply tacky to talk about money! But I'm digging into it a bit.
Have you seen the terms "good deal" or "major deal" and wondered what the heck they mean? I'm going over common deal terms, which help you know the ballpark range of what authors get for their book deals.
And finally, I've got advice for how to get on more even footing, re: money in publishing, despite the closed-lip atmosphere.
This video is part of Money Month, where I'm posting videos all month about money in publishing. If you have questions or requests for topics, drop them down in the comments!

Government tax on books has led to reduced reading, say publishers

The KenyaPublishers Association wants the Government to amend the Finance Bill 2016 to have books included in the list of zero-rated items in order to have more students benefit from access to reading materials.
The enactment of the VAT Act 2013 saw publishers encounter dwindling sales as the higher cost of books was passed on to consumers.
According to the Association, zero-rating books will go a long way towards ensuring that Kenya is able to offer quality education and training as envisaged under Vision 2030.

Modern Financial Regulation

BOOK REVIEW
MODERN FINANCIAL REGULATION
By JonathanKirk and James RossJordan Publishing
ISBN: 978 1 84661 578 8
www.jordanpublishing.co.uk
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN FINANCIAL SERVICES REGULATION
An appreciation by Phillip TaylorMBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond GreenChambers
The all too recent scandals and upheavals in the financial services sector -- like LIPBOR and PPI -- and others too numerous to mention here -- have had a profound effect on the economy too complicated to mention here either. Suffice to say, changes had to be made, of which all financial and legal practitioners should be aware. So thank you to Jordan Publishing for bringing out, as one of their most recent titles, 'Modern Financial Regulation.'
This timely first edition comprehensively covers and explains the changes in the regulation of financial services brought about by the Financial Services Act 2012. The best known is of course, the replacement of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority, a development which seems to have resulted in a more robust regime of regulatory, civil injunctive and criminal enforcement.
'The Financial Services Act,' say the authors, 'ushers in fundamental structural change, a modern era in financial regulation.' It replaces, one hopes, the former and obviously ineffectual 'light touch regulation' with 'greater intervention, enforcement and sanction for the banking and financial services sector.
The book is actually a collective work which brings together the insights of a number of expert contributors and authors, with the intention of providing a precise guide to the structural and regulatory changes that have taken place and the institutions that have been recently created.
Over 11 chapters, the book discusses clearly and in detail the ways in which the Financial Services Act 2012 has affected other areas of financial regulation, from consumer credit and hire, to payment services, to money laundering, to electronic money and market abuse, as well as insider trading and cartels.
Over half the book, however, is taken up quite rightly by the two appendices which include the Financial Services Act itself, reproduced in all its majesty and might in almost 320 pages, plus the three statutory instruments pertaining to the Act in Appendix Two.
Produced in handy paperback format, the book is therefore a convenient research resource and reference book, as well as a practitioner's guide to the current regulatory landscape which affects the financial services sector. Also note, for example, the extensive tables of cases, statutes, statutory instruments and European materials. And for enhanced ease of use, there is a minutely detailed table of contents and useful index at the back.
If you are involved in any way with the financial services sector -- and most people in the City of London are -- you will definitely need a copy of this important new title. The law is stated as at 26 February2013.

Publishing

Publishing is the process of production and dissemination of literature, music, or information — the activity of making information available to the general public. In some cases, authors may be their own publishers, meaning originators and developers of content also provide media to deliver and display the content for the same. Also, the word publisher can refer to the individual who leads a publishing company or an imprint or to a person who owns/heads a magazine.

Traditionally, the term refers to the distribution of printed works such as books (the "book trade") and newspapers. With the advent of digital information systems and the Internet, the scope of publishing has expanded to include electronic resources such as the electronic versions of books and periodicals, as well as micropublishing, websites, blogs, video game publishers, and the like.
